Hi Robert,

Thanks! In which Ubuntu version will this be implemented? 14.04? We're
currently using 12.04.

Two more questions. The dir /usr/share will be overwritten with
software upgrades right? Is there also a static place to put these
settings? For example: /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/?

And is there also a way to list all the possible settings? Or are all
the settings that are possible also in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/?
But if there is a command to list all settings then I'm all ears.
Thank you again.

Kind regards,
Kees
